Any Ideas where to buy plain Latex Rubber sheets?
I'm making a Round Platform with Pressure Sensors around the side.
If you mention alternatives it would be very helpful.

    If you have liquid rubber mask/mold latex rubber then you can make you own by painting it in layers until you have the thickness you need. If you can't find it you can get it from www.monstermakers.com plus they may have what you need already done up. Of course shipping over seas will cost a pretty penny so try your local hobby or craft store for it.

    If the rubber doesn't need to be too wide, can't you use an inner tube from a bike or car tire?

    Gosh, I guess I'll go and find an AUSTRALIAN forum.
    Jax has the best response in this forum, I think I'll go to HOBBY CO.

    It you are working on the BoeBot modification shown in Robot Programmer's Bonanza, you might go to the author's Yahoo Group page and ask them directly. It is here - http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RobotBasic/

    It has been my experience that the people here are as helpful as they come. They also encourage folks to wrestle a bit with finding their own solutions - which is ultimately the most instructive.
